can i use loose ground coffee, no pods or k-cups

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

Yes. It's designed for loose ground coffee. I like to use a #2 filter, but it has a washable screen if you prefer. Brews fast and adding a paper filter allows me to clean up fast.

Yes, the only thing you can use is ground coffee! This is not a pod/k-cup compatible machine.

Yes, you might be able to stick pods in there but it's made for loose grounds.

You could take it out of the K cup. I would buy the coffee beans and grind them. The same coffee is sold in a bag of whole beans.

Only loose coffee will fit in the machine so you would have to tear the K-cup apart. Just buy any espresso ground coffee in bulk and put 2 heaping teaspoons in the filter. The Senseo makes a much better cup of coffee and it's a lot cheaper.

Yes! But it would be best for loose tea, not coffee, unless you like really weak coffee. I bought it hoping to make my own pods with my custom mix of half italian roast and half decaf french...but you can only fit about one tablespoon of coffee in a pod. That makes for a super weak cup of coffee, even with the pulse option turned on.

We only use the Illy pods and these work very well. I do not think you could use ground coffee with a "home made" filter since everything would become very messy and the machine would not work correctly.

No you can only use Dolce Gusto pods. But the coffee is so much better than K-Cup coffee

No you can not use a K-cup inside this replacement. It's only for grounded coffee of your choice.

I haven't even used it:( I thought I was buying a traditional single serve coffee maker that uses ground coffee. This machine uses coffee pods, but the Keurig style pods, are too big. I'm not sure where to buy the slimmer style pods that this machine uses, but I honestly haven't looked either.

I don't know but a friend of mine has a Keurig and she doesn't think so. The pod is designed for the brewer and there is a compartment for loose coffee. She said if the coffee bag is like a tea bag (which it is) she can't see where it could be placed.

You CAN use your own coffee if you have the drawer for that. It only comes with one pod drawer though. There are separate drawers for K-cups, tea & ground coffee.

I use both regular K Cups and the Reusable style (add your own ground coffee). Works great.

You can totally use ground coffee. Just throw it in the filter compartment, and press "grind off."

Yes, there is a Special K-cup that you can and stuff with regular coffee and brew! Works great... Sometimes a little messy but not bad!

Only if you prefer not to use the coffee pods (k-cups). WITH THE FILTER CUPS, YOU USE BULK OR LOOSE COFFEE AND FILL THE CUP YOUR SELF, CHEAPER THAN BUYING THE K-CUPS.

Not really. Or at least I've never tried. You use loose grounds. You could probably cram one of those teabag-style pods in, but not the hard plastic critters like k-cups or other varieties.

No. It is specifically for ground coffee and it comes with its own ground coffee filter that is easily removable for cleaning purposes. No K-cups for this one, although others are designed to be used with K-cups. Hope that helps!
